I really, really like Easter Egg decorating. One of the first posts I ever wrote for this blog was How to Make Mosaic Eggs. There is something about the beauty of a white or brown egg, with its soft sheen waiting to be the perfect canvas for bright colors and shapes. Almost every year I tryRead more
Key lime pie is one of those special treats that I only eat once in a great while. For me, Key Lime pies are often so sweet, they leave me feeling like I drank a bowl of sugar. I’ve tried a few recipes, but something about the tartness of the limes seems to mean drowning the whole thingRead more
So, planners are kind of my thing. Over the years I’ve made several (check out this pretty one from 2017!) but lately, I haven’t had the time. That’s not so bad though, because the market has erupted over the past few years, and there are plenty of adorable and affordable planners to purchase. I’m personallyRead more
DIY Wooden Signs are kind of a big deal lately. They are adorable, generally easy, and provide a ton of decor options. I recently redid my whole living room decor, leaving a dedicated space for seasonal hanging art. And you can bet that this DIY Wooden Valentine Sign will look great there! This isn’t the first DIYRead more
There is something special about the fall cocktail. Seriously, summer gets all the attention for glam pineapple juice drinks and paper umbrellas, but fall drinks have a depth, a warmth that is often overlooked. Now, I’m not one to drink mixed drinks often, usually only while entertaining, so I don’t tend to have favorite “go-to”Read more
Camping in our family is kind of a big deal. Most of our vacations involve some form of sleeping in our restored 1970s Apache Eagle tent camper, and even before the Apache we tent camped at least twice a year. My extended family gets together and camps for a week or two every August, andRead more
Warm sunshine, bright colors and the allure of cool water are all wrapped up in this easy summer craft. Flamingos are a ubiquitous symbol of the sun and the coast – plus this one is pretty darn cute! The craft level of this activity is easy enough for even littles like my Squish to do,Read more
For me, there is nothing more relaxing than getting dressed in my coziest pants and sweater, listen to my music up loud while heading to the craft store, and spending far too long perusing the aisles. But, I rarely have time for that sort of thing anymore. between working and my strong-willed toddler, craft shoppingRead more

I’m generally late to adopt new trends, sometimes missing them completely (I’m talking about you chalkboard paint. IRead more
This is a sponsored post for StoryWorth. All opinions, and printables are my own. It has been quite the pleasant surprise to notice my feelings on Father’s Day transform over the past few years. After my Dad’s death in 2008, I stopped celebrating. Then, slowly, in the fullness of time I began to celebrate my memories ofRead more
One of the bigger decisions that hubby and I made when we became parents was choosing to cloth diaper and use cloth baby wipes. It’s a strangely polarizing issue (I say strangely, because I can’t think of any other time a person would be indignant or upset that another person would recycle rather than throw somethingRead more
Since their invention in the early 1970’s, plastic Easter eggs have become an integral part of the Easter image. Children running around collecting hard plastic eggs into pretty wicker baskets is an idyllic image on par with any Normal Rockwell painting. Over the years I’ve done a few things with plastic eggs, including using themRead more
